it seems he was misled by it or coincidentally agreed with this error attributed to "Mushkil al-Āthār" - the Indian edition, as it states: "In the Khulāṣah, he is ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ḥujayrah - with the first letter pronounced with a ḍammah and the jīm with a fatḥah - the elder Abū ʿAbd Allāh al-Khawlānī, the judge of Egypt." There is another error in attributing this interpretation to "al-Khulāṣah," as it only states: "ʿAbd al-Raḥmān ibn Ḥujayrah..."! The summary is that the flaw in this isnād is the unknown status of this Ibn Ḥujayr. However, the ḥadīth is authentic, as it is found in "al-Ṣaḥīḥayn," "al-Adab al-Mufrad" (1150), Abū Dāwūd (4815), Ibn Ḥibbān (594 - al-Iḥsān), al-Ṭaḥāwī as well, and Aḥmad (3/36) from the narration of Abū Saʿīd al-Khudrī in a similar form, and Muslim (7/2) from the narration of Abū Ṭalḥah (raḍiya Allāhu ʿanhu) without the phrase: "and guiding the lost." Abū Saʿīd added: "and refraining from harm, enjoining good, and forbidding evil." In a narration by Aḥmad (3/61) through the route of ʿAbd al-Razzāq, and this is in "al-Muṣannaf" (11/20/19786) through the route of a man from Abū Saʿīd with it, but he mentioned in place of "refraining from harm": "and guide the one who asks." It is similar in meaning to "guiding the lost." The wording of Abū Ṭalḥah is: ["lowering the gaze, returning the greeting, and speaking kindly"]. The meaning referred to has also appeared in other ḥadīths from Abū Hurayrah and al-Barāʾ ibn
